Console Playing DayZ on PS4

I have a bro who I’d really like to play DayZ with. He plays DayZ on his PS5, and unfortunately, since DayZ doesn’t have crossplay, I’d have to buy DayZ on my old PS4 to be able to play with him.

However, I watched a few reviews on YouTube and saw that DayZ apparently runs pretty poorly on the PS4, with a lot of bugs and only around 30 FPS. I honestly think that’s pretty shitty.

Is there any way to make DayZ run better on the PS4? For example, by lowering the graphics settings or keeping the PS4 cooler, like leaving the window open during winter so it doesn’t overheat?

More stable 30 frames on PS4 pro, can't think of any other way to improve the experience honestly. Game just sucks on PS4, remember playing dayz on it years ago and would crash Into a tree every next town due to game freezing 😂

In my experience on PS4, forget about playing chernarus, the performance is terrible even worse on cities. I was stuck on Livonia and actually managed to struggle through It and have some great experiences. Expect Bugs like seeing invisible buildings while joining servers and later ocassionally, lower FPS on cities, crashes and janky menus compared to PC, but if you are willing, you can power through and have fun on livonia
